I just brought home a V11 LW about 30min ago. As a quick note; I have currently zero experience with the BCM KMR, so I can't make comparisons.
First impressions are that the SLiM 15.0 is impressive. Coupled with the lightweight barrel, it immediately triggers the response in your brain that "A 16" gun with a 15" handguard couldn't possibly be THIS light..." when you pick it up. The 45 degree offset QD sockets are neat. I'd prefer mine way further out on the handguard personally, but I use Proctor slings anyway and generally don't use QDs.
The chamfers / bevels at the end of the rail are a very nice touch, especially if you're going to be getting into position and working weird barricades with a long 15" handguard like this.
Rail is MUCH slimmer than the RIS II handgaurd I've gotten accustomed to. Feels awesome. Overall great feel when swinging the gun into transitions (just messing around with dry fire).
Construction and quality look to be exactly what I expect from DD.
Eager to shoot the shit out of this. This is my first foray into Keymod handguards, so now I have to research how the hell I mount a Surefire M300 to this thing that resembles modular shelving brackets.
